There is a wealth of information available on how companies can select projects which will be profitable, how to align projects with a company's strategic objectives, how to evaluate proposals, and in general, how to have a successful project.   Yet while projects today are more successful than ever, a substantial number still fail.

Consider some projects that you have worked on either at your job (e.g. office software upgrades, new accounting system, moving to a new location) or in your personal life (e.g. a wedding, modernizing a kitchen, an extensive vacation). Please try and explain why the project you worked on was successful or a failure.

Your current event can be about anything related to diversity, including positive stories of people doing good things. Diversityinc.com is a great source. You can also google and search using "diversity" + "news" and you will find an endless supply of news stories. Make sure the site you use is a reputable source. (Do not use information obtained from a blog.) Post a summary of the article and give us your opinion about the relevance of the article. Discuss how the issue is related to our class. Provide a link to the article so others can access the article and read it if they choose.

Properly poised and magnificently coiffed, Michelle entertains the room. After taking one last spoonful of soup, she politely excuses herself from the dinner table and retreats to the bathroom. Uncovering a toothbrush concealed in her purse, she pushes the toothbrush down her throat and gags. With this behavior, Michelle conceals much more than a toothbrush.

Patterns of mental illness might be concealed all too well by external variables, such as a successful lifestyle, a well-groomed appearance, or a dynamic personality. At times, those suffering with mental illness may be able to control external variables, thus hiding any signs and symptoms. As a result, the differentiation between mental health and mental illness is not always so clear. As a future professional in the field of psychology, you must consider how mental health differs from mental illness for an accurate diagnosis on the basis of the DSM.

For this Discussion, consider the different ways to conceptualize mental health and mental illness in the field of psychology. Think about how this conceptualization may influence your assessment and diagnosis of a client.

With these thoughts in mind:

A brief explanation of the different ways in which mental health and mental illness may be conceptualized in the field of psychology. Then explain at least two ways in which this conceptualization may influence your assessment and diagnosis of a client. Provide examples based on current literature and Learning Resources.

Question 1 – Australian Consumer Law        

Natural Ice Cream Co is a company that advertises its ice cream as ‘all natural’, made in the Barossa Valley (in South Australia), and from milk produced by Australian cows.

It has been discovered, that actually the ice cream is made in Victoria, 1000’s of kilometres away from the Barossa Valley. And although most of the ingredients in the ice cream are natural they do use a chemically flavoured vanilla as natural vanilla is too expensive. Most cows were bred in Australia but recently some have been imported from Indonesia.

Using relevant legal principles, discuss whether Natural Ice Cream Co has breached section 18 of the Australian Consumer Law and what remedies may be available.

Case Review # 3 Counseling Role-playing

In a graduate counseling pre-practicum laboratory class, graduate students practice their skills by role-playing as “counselor” and “client”. The instructions are for the student who is serving as the client to either make-up a situation and role play it or use a real situation in their life. No one is to ask if the situation is real or not. The assumption is the “problem” is made up. Students are encouraged to make the situation as authentic as possible so their fellow-students get the best possible training opportunity. Other students in the practicum class and the professor observe the role-play live and provide feedback to the student who is serving as the “counselor”.

In a session early in the semester, a student serving as the “client” begins to discuss issues regarding a divorce, which are extremely painful for her. She is soon in tears, and it seems clear that the student is not role-playing. The other students and the professor do not comment on the situation to the “client” and do provide feedback to her student/“counselor” concerning how to handle the situation in the next session. No one suggests that the issue should not be discussed further by the “client”. Plans are formulated regarding the next counseling session to further explore this issue with the “client”.

4. Given the current situation, what course of action would you recommend for the counselor to implement?

In this module we have learned that the innate or non-specific immune response provides the body's first and second lines of defense against invading pathogens. This part of the immune system is not damaged in AIDS. It might be helpful to educate AIDS patients on the innate immune system to help them understand what is going on in their bodies, and how to make the most of it. or this discussion, choose one example of innate immunity to focus on. Choose one aspect that was particularly interesting to you. Do some online research to find out a little more about it. Here is a list of examples, but you can think of other ones as well.

1) Tell us how an AIDS patient can work with his/her non-specific pathways to help them work to their optimal capacity. For example, how can he/she work WITH his non-specific inflammatory response to get optimal benefit?
